Boxplot

Boxplot is a flexible curatorial project aimed at providing visual artists from Australia and Southeast Asia with opportunities for collaboration, exhibition and exchange. Founded in 2013 by Mark Valenzuela and Anna O’Loughlin, the project began with a series of independent exhibitions held in alternative spaces in Adelaide that connected artists from Australia and the Philippines. Since this time, Boxplot has focused on curating exhibitions, projects and residencies in partnership with art spaces in Australia, the Philippines, Singapore and Indonesia.

Home brew residenciesBoxplot runs an informal residency program in Adelaide, Australia, for ceramic artists from the Philippines. In 2018, Boxplot hosted two emerging artists from the Philippines: Ness Sheen in January 2018 and Jezzel Wee in October - November 2018.

Tropical BlazeBoxplot provides ongoing curatorial support to Tropical Blaze, a biannual international ceramics conference held at the studio of Pablo Capati III in San Jose, Batangas, Philippines. Tropical Blaze is run in partnership with the University of the Philippines.

Vanishing in the ProcessBoxplot was a co-curator of Vanishing in the Process, an international research collective of 11 artists and curators from Australia, Indonesia and the Philippines. The program centred on two residencies; the first held at LIR Space (Yogyakarta, Indonesia) in December 2017 and the second at 98B COLLABoratory (Manila, Philippines) in February - March 2018.
